Best Answer

Africans were stronger, more resistant to the diseases of the whites, and they were easier to obtain because they were simply purchased from the Africans themselves. Native Americans fought back, were not as strong, easily caught the whites diseases, and would need to be captured. They also knew the land well, and were able to escape easier.

Africans were just easier to obtain and keep. They tried Asians also, they were just to weak (no offense to anyone).
